Earth End – New Beginning

In his second recent explication on progress toward earth’s destruction, Alvin Conway—famed Christian founder of his profound website, “Extinction Protocol—laments uncovered evidence that Planet Earth is worn out and nearer than ever to certain destruction.

Conway argues that planetary systems necessary to support earth’s survival are now worn out or are working together to insure the destruction of all human, animal and plant life on earth, the only planet human beings survive on.

Likewise, in a recent televised sermon, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart posits that Joseph’s prophecy to Pharoah’s disturbing dream about seven extremely fat cows and then seven lean, starving cows meant that the king must prepare for seven years of untold prosperity throughout his kingdom, to be followed by seven years of unbelievable poverty the world over (see Genesis 41: 16 – 41)—actually may foretell the times we live in today. Could these years of prosperity be occurring now?

In the same vein, Pastor Jim Baker and the army of modern-day prophets on his daily television broadcasts, insist that Christians must stock up now on survival foods and water purifying devices, because safe food and clean water will soon be unavailable around the world–including in the United States of America, the wealthiest nation on earth today.

In this regard, Conway agrees with Baker about coming scarcities of clean water: “Life on earth would be impossible without water. Oceans comprise 71% of the earth’s surface, yet 97% of the planet’s water is contained in oceans.” But the renown scientist explains, “Of all water on earth; less than 1% is drinkable fresh water.” He presents statistics that over one billion people today cannot get to clean drinkable water—not to mention billions of pounds of garbage and millions of gallons of oil mankind dumps into oceans every year.

If Swaggart’s suggestion is correct—and considering the extremely rapid of the U.S. Stock market in the last year—today’s Christians may be living in the most important time on this current earth. This famed evangelist also insists that true Christians must now get in line with God’s total plan for their lives and that secret sins must be discarded and fully repented of.

What is the point? It is that if all these Christian leaders are correct in their prophecies, the total Body of Christ must take several steps immediately:

No. 1: Stop playing with your Christian identity. Decide once and for all if you are going to serve The LORD Jesus with your whole heart—Him only and not any other human or other being.

No. 2: Such service means not just repenting for past sins, but also walking in a true state of repentance and forgiveness. Remember, The LORD Jesus says we are to forgive our brethren 490 times a day: “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven (Matthew 18: 21 – 22).”

No. 3: Seek The LORD for what He wants you to do as He prepares The Body of Christ for these very last battles. What is the unique role He has for you—that only you can fulfill?

No. 4: Get back into God’s Word. Read and study the Bible carefully, so that you will be ready for the coming world wars, the earth’s coming total destruction, and to live and reign with Him forever: “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:6).

Are true Christians—i.e. those who have actually accepted The LORD Jesus as LORD and Ruler of their lives—aware that in The New Heaven and The New Earth, they will have at least Four New Names? And do they know why these New Names will be absolutely necessary?

Revelation 2: 17 says: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” But why will born-again believers need new names?

So many confessing Christians living today do not really comprehend the reality of being “born again”—when one is “born” into a New Family and one joins a New Reality. Once “born,” the new ‘babe’ in Christ must be fed with God’s Word, that person’s new spiritual food—baby food, a small spoon at a time. Whether one grows in this new reality or not becomes a constant struggle, because that growth means change, and obedience and submission to new laws—God’s Laws, as established in His Word.

In this last and final century of human rule on earth, the struggle for maturing believers today has become that true Christians are being torn away from this world. Internally, they feel it, they know it. God is calling them home to Himself, to an Absolutely New Realty, and to more New Names—in fact to at least four new names by which true believers in all coming time, eternity and space will be known:

Revelation 3: 12 insists: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

But why will believers need new names? Because human families, earthly memories, all those things that too many carnal Christians hold on to will be no more. They will no longer exist. God’s Word says: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea (Revelation 21: 1).”

And the born-again Christian will in all ways be part of the new family: God’s Family! That Christian will truly understand that he has a New Father—The Eternal and Everlasting God, Maker and Creator of all Things. Old genealogies are erased. They cannot stand. Those earthly family members who likewise made it to this New Heaven will be glad to see them. But they too will know they are now in a New Family. And they now will have new names!

When they turned their backs on their old cultures, their old Jewish religion and traditions, Apostle Paul and all New Testament believers knew and understood their new identities in The LORD Jesus Christ. Even before many of them were martyred, they understood that they were dead to this world, but alive unto Christ. Thus, Paul could write: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5: 17).”

Today, confessing Christians must grasp these realities. It is time to make a choice: either surrender entirely to God, The Father, and His Future for Believers, or turn back to this world’s coming destruction. One truly cannot have both. As one’s wholesale Christian Bible makes clear: “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (1 John 2: 17).”

Please understand this: God’s Kingdom runs now, and always will run, on obedience. The realm of His rule does not function as a democracy or even a plutocracy—that is one run by a few people elected to rule. The Infinite, Eternal and Everlasting Gone alone—through His Son Jesus and His Holy Spirit—alone is always in charge!

Yes, Christians are saved by grace, and once they invite The LORD Jesus into their hearts, they move spiritually out of Satan’s kingdom, and into God’s kingdom. As babes in Christ, new Christians are groomed in God’s ways through His Holy Word—IF they read it for themselves. As each believer grows up in God’s grace, He attempts to anoint each one to perform the gifts and callings He has planned for the individual Christian’s life. Unless that person is under strong anointing from God, no human being can tell anyone else what their calling from God is intended to be.

The LORD must have a clear channel of communication with each individual believer. Unrepentant sin and neglect of prayer and Bible study interfere with that communication. In addition, instead of listening to God, too many Christians start following people. Instead of waiting to hear God’s voice within their inner-man, they too often listen to man, or even to the sins and desires of the flesh and the devil. Such disobedience is costly, not only to ourselves, but, most important, to God’s essential plan for the Christian’s life as it is intended to affect others and the world.

For example, when God needed a king of Israel who would obey His instructions as given through Samuel, the anointed High Priest, Saul—who lived too much in the flesh of his own will and desires—completely ignored and disobeyed God’s instructions, as given to him through Samuel. Like too many believers today, Saul ended up doing ‘religious’ things that he determined to be good enough to please God. When Samuel finally caught up with Saul, the priest was aghast that Saul had tried to substitute doing man-made ‘religious’ activities instead of doing God’s will. Astonished at Saul’s rebellion, Samuel told the king one of the most important verses in Scripture:

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king (I Samuel 15: 22-23).”

Can you see this? God’s Word is telling Christians that refusal to obey Him is the same as practicing witchcraft! As The Body of Christ now

I really enjoyed working on these shots to bring out the detail in the clouds.

stands at the very end of time, it is urgent that all Christians get into God’s Word, pray often for God-given wisdom to know the calling on each Christian’s life. As the world spins toward destruction, only one thing holds that destruction back: The commanding word of Christians who walk in The Word and Will of God. As Apostle Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians:

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

“Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what with-holdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way (2: 3 – 7).”

The Greek Words “let” and “letteth” mean stop or stops. Thus it is the Spirit-filled believer, or believers, in the Body of Christ who alone have ability to keep their foot down hard on the devil’s neck. They alone—among human beings—have the power and authority to tell the devil and his angels to cease and desist! When a believer lets his guard down, evil runs wild in the world. So let’s get to work in prayer, fasting, reading and meditating on God’s Word and always doing His absolute Will!

Floods are coming, unmitigated floods which cannot be stopped!! As in 2017, fires on the one hand, earthquakes on the other, floods of disaster upon disaster, because God—Our Heavenly Father, The Supreme Ruler of the Universe, Father of Our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ—is calling on America to repent!

He has been good to us—bringing this nation from the miracle of a few praying Christians and releasing them from the rule of those who thought they would profit from this land, while giving us victory through three great wars to set ourselves and others free—i.e. the Civil War and World Wars I and II—to establish this country as the greatest nation on earth.

But now, Americans seems to have forgotten where we came from. Now enriched, we sneer at His laws, breaking them whenever we want to—whether by cursing Him, or with acts of disobeying His every Word and Commandment—even by preaching His Word while not attempting to live it. Most of all, we never, ever fully repent. We refuse to love one another, by crossing racial and economic divisions to show love and compassion toward those who are ‘different’.

We refuse to stop wasting His treasure on the plans of a few vicious people: i.e. trillions on ‘space’ exploration, neo-gene alterations to produce super-non-human beings, and other pseudo-sciences—all of which are designed to save only a few people, but everyone! Simultaneously, we refuse to take care of the poor, insisting that they work to improve their lot, while stealing work from them to give to those from other countries, and denying them sufficient education!

Never fully repenting, we refuse to see the swords of His mighty angels turned against as they weld in these floods of storms, fires and multiple devastating attacks. All because we refuse to fully repent! Remember this Word in wholesale Christian Bibles, so well known in pseudo-Christian circles: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7: 14).”

What else can God do to bring this nation back to Him? He blesses us and we accept it without saying thanks, because that is what we come to expect from His grace. Our pride keeps our knees straight, rather than bowing in prayer. We have turned many churches into whore houses, where smoking thieves can steal all they want, while sleeping with each other’s wives, women, children and men. But we accept it all as ‘Christianity,’ while we refuse to repent, to admit we have wrongfully allowed His beloved Gospel to come out of such sinful institutions.

Have we not read His Word? Do we not know that such behavior and hard-heartedness is what drove Israel into slavery twice? They are the first children of Abraham. How can we, the second set of Abraham’s children, not see that we will also receive His severest whippings for not repenting?

This new year of 2018 , believers will witness unprecedented horrors upon souls and properties! Pray, repent, ask His forgiveness for many sins—and name them one by one. If you are a true Christian, take time to pray and repent for your nation, just as Daniel, Nehemiah and others did! Without such prayers and repentance, things will get worse, not better!

This blogger wrote earlier about God’s Judgment against witchcraft worship in California’s mountains. However, that judgment seems to be continuing as the State is now smothered with endless fires bringing destruction to hundreds of homes. Thus, the question remains: Why is that Judgment against California continuing? According to God’s Word at least one answer is obvious: Homelessness! California’s cities have the highest rate of people living in poverty on city streets than any other city in the nation.

As Michael Snyder reports in ‘As America Gives Thanks, Homelessness Continues To Set New Records In Major Cities All Over The Nation,’ “The number of homeless people in Los Angeles has jumped to a new record, as city officials grapple with a humanitarian crisis of proportions remarkable for a modern American metropolis. Municipal leaders said that a recent count over several nights found 55,188 homeless people living in a survey region comprising most of Los Angeles County, up more than 25% from last year. If the California economy is truly doing well, then why is this happening?”

Other columnists answer the question with reports on the extremely high cost of housing in that State: “New figures from the U.S. Census Bureau show California has the country’s highest poverty rate, with nearly one in five residents facing economic hardship when factoring in living costs such as housing. The California Budget and Policy Center blamed high rents for keeping 20.4 percent of the population in poverty,” according to a recent article by KPCC Radio titled ‘California’s housing costs are driving its No. 1 poverty ranking.’ How did this happen? How could the richest and largest state in the Union have the most homeless people and the highest poverty rate? Is it because the richest among them have priced their State out of the true meaning of prosperity?

In discussing what life will be like during His soon-coming Thousand-year reign on earth, The LORD Jesus explains: “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: . . Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

“Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did It not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (Matthew 25: 31-46).”

Thus, one answer to California’s endless fires could well be: “If Californians don’t care about the homeless poor, maybe they should experience what it means to be homeless themselves?” On the other hand, these fires could be judgment because of the State’s prideful rebellious nature—always threatening to make itself its own nation and cut away from the United States—;or its high rate of abortions; or its extremely high number of those continually living in sexual deviance—most of which has yet to be uncovered.

One problem though, before other Americans get on the ‘high and mighty’ themselves, Snyder’s article makes clear that such high rates of

homelessness is rift across America: “If the U.S. economy was actually in good shape, we would expect that the number of people that are homeless would be going down or at least stabilizing. Instead, we have a growing national crisis on our hands. . . . Homelessness is at epidemic levels all over the U.S., and this crisis is getting worse with each passing day. Some communities are trying to care for their growing homeless populations, but others are simply trying to force them to go somewhere else. They are doing this by essentially making it illegal to be homeless. . .”

So before sneering at California or other places about their sins in neglecting the poor (and/or other sinful practices), perhaps it is time for God’s people in every State of the Union to get ready for the disasters about to hit their neighborhoods and States, and to open their wholesale Christian Bibles in repentance and confess in prayer that as a nation, during The Lord Jesus’ coming million year Millennial reign, our so-called Christian nation could definitely be on the left side of That Savior we claim to esteem and love!

1. Did you Know that the Texas Killer, Devin Kelley, age 26 , visited the Halloween Party at The First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, before he came back a few days later and slaughtered some 26 men, women and children, from ages 5 to 72 years old, and injuring several others?

Daily Mail.com reports: “Texas shooter attended the church’s annual Halloween party with his children just five days before he returned and opened fire on parishioners. Texas gunman Devin Kelley took his kids to the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs’ annual Fall Festival on Halloween night. His fellow churchgoers were surprised but pleased to see the 26-year-old after his disagreements with his family members.”

Hmm. Like this blog keeps warning, as well as our sister blog, ‘Worlds Collide—Culture, Christianity, End of Time,’ explains as well: Halloween has nothing to do with Christianity. It has everything to do with Satanism and evil, and to celebrate the rite is to try to justify evil, which cannot be done!

2. Did you know that the East Coast–not the West–was struck by an earthquake in the last few days? And do you know what that may mean for the rest of the country? The Associated Press reports: “An earthquake has jolted the Mid-Atlantic region of the East Coast, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. “The U.S. Geological Survey says the 4.4 magnitude quake struck at 4:45 p.m.Thursday, and was centered about 6 miles east-northeast of Dover, Delaware.” CBS News actually confessed that such an earthquake on the U.S. East Coast is extremely rare!

3. Did you know that December isn’t really The LORD Jesus’ Birthday, that in Medieval Days, priests labeled it His birthday, because they could not dissuade people to stop celebrating Winter Solstice, as these celebrations included pagan witchcraft worship? As Wikipedia explains, classic Roman tradition, December 25th included sacrifices to the gods, partying and gift-giving: “Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honor of the god Saturn, held on 17 December of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through to 23 December. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves.

Wikipedia adds: “Although it is not known why December 25 became a date of celebration, there are several factors that may have influenced the choice. December 25 was the date the Romans marked as the winter solstice, the shortest and darkest day of the year, and the first day in which the days would begin to elongate and the Sun would have a longer presence in the sky. Jesus was identified with the Sun based on an Old Testament verse, and the date is exactly nine months following Annunciation, when the conception of Jesus is celebrated, which is one theory on what may have influenced the timing of the Christmas holiday. Also, Ancient Romans had a series of pagan festivals near the end of the year, and Christmas may have been scheduled at this time to appropriate, or compete with, one or more of these festivals.

4. And did you know that God loves you, regardless of who you are or what you have done? That He loves you especially if you have accepted His Son, The LORD Jesus Christ, into your heart as your Personal Savior, because when you do that He becomes your Father too, that He would prefer that you would not celebrate Halloween, but that He does not denounce Christmas. He and His Father only want you to keep The Great Gift of Jesus in the center of your celebrations. As wholesale Christian Bible explains:“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3: 16).

This year of 2017 is particularly illustrative of the ultimate judgment of God when it begins to move upon wicked affairs in the lives of men. While reporting ‘news’ about certain events, most journalists have no idea about the ‘truth’ that is before them. The recent fires in California, coupled with serial disruptions of the Harvey Weinstein expose, illustrate fallouts of God’s judgments against unrelenting group witchcraft and its attending carnal sins.

First, one must understand the importance of certain mountains and mountain ranges in witchcraft meetings of worship. Repeatedly, the Bible speaks of heathen and backsliding professing Christians gathering on mountaintops for group idol worship, and collective sexual deviance: “Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains . . . (Deuteronomy 12: 2).”

Mountain locations are vitally necessary in the evil world of hidden witchcraft for several purposes: First, demonic world worshipers want to go higher up in space so they can reach the stars and commune with their fallen satanic gods: “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: . . . And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel . . . And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven. . . (Genesis 10: 8 – 10 to 11: 9).” This Nimrod hunted people to kill and sacrifice them and he led heathen followers to carry out this worship of evil on high mountains.

Second, as most witchcraft worship meetings involve acts considered to be illegal in civilized societies—i.e. murder, sodomy, child molestation, animal and child sacrifice, and physical and sexual manipulations considered heathenism—these acts must be done in private locations, away from the eyes of non-compromised police forces.

Third, when people prominent in business and politics attend such meetings they meet in guarded locations—well hidden from public view–so that their participation in devious acts, nor their monetary offerings to insure monetary success and curses against opponents, will become public. Fourth, witchcraft covens work under compelling military-like rules with leadership given to those with the most satanic powers to command obedience through violence and death.

Historically, California is known for such wicked underground practices. Famous actors and actresses–such as Cher (who made the practice ‘laughable’ in her leadership role in the movie “Witches of Eastwick”), Ellen Cannon Reed, LGBT advocate María Conchita (who praises Cher), Karla LaVey and her more famous witch doctor father Anton LaVey, etc.—often try to make witchcraft practices laughable. Or else, through public media, they would mask local heathen worship with film accounts of such behaviors in non-Christian nations.

In the Bible, God continually condemns such reprehensible worship of devilish practices, and when nations consistently increase such reprehensible behavior, He brings sure and swift judgment against them: “Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. . . . and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD. . . . Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto. And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

“But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, . . . Behold with a great plague will The Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods (2 Chronicles 21: 5 – 14).”

The purpose of mountain witchcraft worship is to induce increasing numbers of people to continuously practice deeper devious sins against others and against the commandments God issues in His wholesale Christian Bibles. His judgment ripped through California mountains from North to South, killing dozens and causing billion in losses of business and property.

As it moved southward, that judgment moved into Hollywood circles tripping Harvey Weinstein, exposing the movie mogul as a rapist and child molester. Once, that door burst open, other famous stars—i.e. Kevin Spacey—are now likewise exposed. It is now so explosive to the pretend-reality movie industry, that one famous producer now claims he is moving his operation to New York, because the days of Hollywood are over!

So many anti-Halloween blogs on this site point out every year that this sin-filled so-called holiday is nothing but the absolute worship of evil, that it seemed a waste of good blog space and time to do another one. But in memory of those who risked and/or gave their lives to help me confront Satan’s evil operations, and of the late Christian Irene Park, author of ‘The Witch that Switched,’ who taught me so much about the evils of this wretched celebration, I relented. To those claiming to be pastors who try to include Halloween celebrations in their activities, I warn that they will be sorely judged for such foolishness.

In his article, ‘Former Satan Worshipper: I’m Shocked Christians Celebrate Halloween,’ Pastor John Ramirez also condemns Christians and Christian pastors who try to ‘play’ celebration of this one of Satan’s high feast days: “We are quick on our feet to rush and honor the devil in so many ways. We see no harm in Halloween, because we think it is fun. We paint our faces, we wear our innocent costumes, we dress up our doorways—even churches dress up their entryways for Halloween with pumpkins. These actions are like giving the devil license, saying, “Here’s my church. You can have it.”

The truth is that too many so-called pastors of such churches already belong to Satan. They represent what the Bible speaks of so often as “false prophets,” who preach and organize ministries and churches purely for their own profit! The LORD Jesus warned: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves (Matthew 7: 15).” And Apostle Peter adds: “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction (2 Peter 2: 1).”

To bring evil satanic worship into a Holy Church of God is nothing but heresy. Pastor Ramirez adds that it does no good to try to dress up the title of this celebration of evil–when many people, especially children, are sacrificed during below ground or in hidden- in-woods satanic rites–by calling it ‘Harvest Day.’ “Some churches remove the word “Halloween” and call it ‘harvest’ instead, with members dressing up in costumes, giving out candy and bobbing for apples. It saddens my heart. Turning away from this “holiday” is not missing out on anything, so let us get that off our minds.”

Actually for Satan it is a harvest of sexual sins, animal sacrifices, human bloodshed and death. Pastor Ramirez adds: “As devil worshippers, Halloween was very special to us, and we looked forward to celebrating it because we knew the implications and the dark power behind the night. It is very different from every other night in the witchcraft world. It would be like me saying to believers today, “How important to you are Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday?” Halloween has that much weight and importance to those who dwell on the dark side.”

Still some so-called pastors insist that they have certain frolics on this night to stop children from going out trick or treating. I respond “hog wash.” If they really want to stop children from “trick or treating,” they should preach from Sunday pulpits, and teach and pray during Wednesday night prayer services—for those who still even pretend to hold group prayer meetings even one night a week—about the evils of Halloween as has been proven during October fests all around the world.

And some Americans wonder where these historical hurricanes, forest fires and violent murders are coming from lately, should closely study this verse from their wholesale Christian Bibles: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6: 7).” Now that’s a harvest verse. Yes, professing Christians may have forgotten their Halloween celebrations over the years, but God has not forgotten, and He will remind them of such sinfulness on their final judgment day!

At first, this blogger thought it was just the usual religious bickering between those who believe in the so-called ‘Prosperity Movement’ and those who don’t. But it turns out to be more than just that: It is another argument between the “pre-Trib” and “post-Trib” groups. In other words, for centuries two opposing bodies of Christian ‘leaders’ have argued over when God would ‘rapture’ (i.e. take to heaven) true Christians out of the earth: Before the horrors of end-time tribulation spoken of throughout His Holy Word. Or whether He would leave true Christians on earth to suffer (i.e. along with sinners) through these (coming or could-be ‘present’) wretched times—perhaps the time of Anti-Christ Tribulation time itself!

Those believing that Christians will be taken to heaven in ‘The Rapture’, before the ‘real’ Tribulation begins, could be so sure that God will save them from such horrors that they ignore or ‘down play’ the immediate need to increasingly walk in repentance and love as Apostle John advises: “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us (1 John 4: 10 – 12).”

Conversely, those who strongly advocate that today’s Christians now live during the Tribulation (i.e. the ‘post-Trib’ group) could like-wise be so filled with pride that they could likewise ignore the commandments of Apostle John and of The LORD Jesus that believers must—above all things Love God and Love one Another: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13: 34-35).”

The ‘pre-Trib” group relies on Revelation chapters 4 and 5 to insist that after The LORD Jesus judges seven churches in chapters 2 and 3, those next two chapters ‘indicate’ that all Christians will be in heaven after their final accounting at ‘The Judgment Seat of Christ’. However, while not mentioning Gentile Christians, these two chapters introduce The LORD Jesus Christ as the Only Being in Heaven or earth eligible to open The Book about end-time judgments—The Book of Revelations– which God The Father holds in His hands, as He awaits for The Book to be opened and its truths released.

After The LORD Jesus opens that Book—and throughout The Book of Revelations He explains ALL the judgments that will take place on earth—before He returns here. First, in truth, apparently God has not presented sufficient evidence in His Word to support either side of the ‘Trib’ argument. In fact, His total Word could indicate that both sides of the argument are wrong.

Second: However, it is the authentically True Body of Christians who are holding off the ultimate destruction of all the earth’s 8 to 10 billion people: “And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom The Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time (2 Thessalonians 2: 6 – 8).”

The ‘he’ here is that Body of Christians who exercise their authority over the workings of Satan, who stay on their knees against treats of terrorists, killers and yes even storms and fires. Christianity is not a ‘playing marbles game’ where one side seeks to gain advantage over the other. If the ‘pre-trib’ group argues that these verses indicate that the rapture will come before end-time disasters begin, then how can they explain killer earthquakes, historical raging ‘endless’ fires and murderous killings now happening in their lifetimes? If the ‘post-trib’ group believes that their side is correct, then how can they explain their lack of fasting, praying, and loving the lost and even including Christians of all races, colors and denominations in their services—including Christian leaders of the same?

Third, God’s wholesale Christian Bible never tells Christians that they will not live through certain horrors—i.e. lions’ dens; fired-up furnaces; concentration camps; wars and rumors of wars between and against evil-ruled nations; world wars; illegal hangings; crucifixes; gang murders; kidnappings; incarcerations for the Name of Christ; political, racial or ethnic persecutions; Middle-East beheadings of Christians; or other extreme persecutions, etc.—all of which happen today, or have happened in the last hundred years–so why should true Christians living in these last days be so excluded?

Fourth, most of The Old Testament, some of The New Testament (i.e. Romans and Hebrews)—including The Book of Revelation–is addressed to and written about Jews, not Gentile Christians. The ultimate aim of the enemy, Anti-Christ, is about destroying Jews, Israel and Jerusalem in these last days, and The Book of Revelation discusses those Middle Eastern nations which had ruled over Israel in past centuries. Other than what it will do to protect Israel, the United States or Gentile Christians within it, is not the subject of this Great and Last Book of The Bible. Thus, true Christians should stop ‘dancing on the end of a pen’s head’ arguing over each other’s rights and wrongs. If there is one thing the Book of Revelation makes clear, it is that ‘Now is The Time for Christian Prayer and Love,’ and not theological nit-picking or so-called argument over God’s Word. Rather, now is the time to fully obey It!
